FoRr GIBSON, |. L. Dec. IA storm,
accompanied by slect and snow, visited
the western portion of Indian Territory
the middle of last week, and the cat
tie of that section were subjected to
terrible racket for a day or two. The
snow was blown into the valleys and
the grass therein buried under it. The
cattle betook themselves TO the hills
and elevated places, where there was
no snow, and subsisted on the grass
and sage brush there abounding. The
cattle were drawn more or less and
lost some flesh in consequence of the
storm, but they were in such fine con-
dition that they stood it remarkably
well. In fact, it is stated on good au-
thority that the range is so good in the
territory that fully three fourths of the
cattle up there are now in condition to
make good beef.

GAINEsviLrE, Dec. 27- a ball from
a Roman candle fell among the fire
works in Joe CottrauX store
about o o'clock Saturday night,
setting fire 10 the estab-
lishment. The department turned
out promptly and did excellent work
coniining the fire to the goods and saw
ing the building almost without dam

$1,000 or 5000, insured for $1,000. The
furniture in his dwelling over the store
was badly damaged by water, but the
$1,000 insurance carried on it will cover
the loss.

pied No official report was obtalna-

seriously hurt. Beautiful weather has
prevailed here during the past two

II the struggle had got to come between the sill

York perhaps the present Is as good as any time

avoided by the exercise OF little forbearance and
tact on both sides? And was there any better ex-
cuSe for a combination between the EMPLOYERS IN

The annoyance expressed by the President at the

have been made the victims. Liberties have been
taken In the east roon of the White House which

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad, encouraged
perhaps, by the dissatisfaction arising from the
Pennsylvania roads increase in Communication
business in the Vicinity OF Philadelphia The por-
tion OF the road between Wilmington and Phila-
delphia has been double-traeked. and sixteen daily
trains each way are to be run on and after next
Sunday. Is il because it has at present no shrewd
and active competitor for the best part of WASH
1ngton suburban travel that it fails to show the
same solicitude and the same prudent energy in
building up the suburban business in the vicinity
Df this city? Every consideration necessary to
Tempt a road TO foster Washington suburban
growth would seem TO exist. There Is now an ex-
traordinary tendency In this city towards
making homes In suburban towns. Property
Is being purchased for town sites in every
direction from the city and ON all the
roads. N the towns already plated lots sell
readily, and many buildings are going up. Induce
mentS In cheap rates, frequent trains and the
security OF a double track will have much to do in
deciding the direction which this overflow from
the city will take, whether into Virginia or Mary
land, along this railroad or that All OF our rail-
roads should awake TO the condition OF affairs in
delphia suburban business by double track and
sixteen daily trains each way. 1t will be still
wiser TO recognize that there is now an even more
promising opening for such announcement in the
vicinity OF Washington IL 1t were not blind to
